Assumptions:

Installation of VMware workstation and Creation of VMware is already completed

Redhat Linux 5.6 iso image or DVD media is available

Disk Space Requirements for Oracle eBusiness Suite R12.1.1, as at this point of

time you should be very clear what space required so that accordingly we can create

mount points in Linux.

Fresh Installation:

Applications tier/node files system: 35GB

Database tier/node files system: 55GB

Total Capacity of HD Size: 90GB

Vision Installation:

Applications tier/node files system: 35GB

Database tier/node files system: 208GB

Total Capacity of HD Size: 243GB

The database node disk space requirements for both the production database and the

Vision Demo database include database files (.dbf) and the 11gR1 database Oracle

Home.

Reference: CPU, Memory, Disk Space Requirement (Page 23)

1-In Virtual machine setting chose option – Use ISO Image File and brows to

location of your installer image and select,

Press OK


http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B53825_04/current/acrobat/121oaig.pdf



2-Select ‘Power on the This Virtual Machine’

3-To Install in Graphical mode, please chose 1

st option and press the ENTER key




4-The installer will offer you if you want to check the DVD media before installation.

If you already tested media or iso image you can press the "tab" key to move focus to

the "Skip" key, then press the "Enter" key to continue

5-First page of the Installation wizard, Press NEXT




The Welcome screen does not prompt you for any input. From this screen you can

access the Release Notes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux by clicking on the Release

Notes button.

6-Select the Language that will be used during the installation, we will choose English

but you can select your appropriate language and press Next




7-Select keyboard type, we will choose US English and press NEXT

To change your keyboard layout type after you have completed the installation, use

the Keyboard Configuration Tool.

Type the system-config-keyboard command in a shell prompt to launch the

Keyboard Configuration Tool.




8-In this step to put your installation number. You may skip entering this number if

you don't have one. This number will determine the package selection set that is available to the installer.

If you choose to skip entering the installation number you will be presented with a

basic selection of packages to install later on.




9-Choose Yes option to proceed for partitioning




Partitioning allows you to divide your hard drive into isolated sections, where each

section behaves as its own hard drive.

10-We will choose "Create custom layout" and create the partitions as we need on the

disk based on the space requirement for installation of Oracle eBusiness Suite R12.1.1




11-Here this will show all free space of the disk allocated for VMware. Click "New"

to create a partition




Mount Point: Enter the partition's mount point. For example, if this partition should

be the root partition, enter /; enter /boot for the /boot partition, and so on. You can

also use the pull-down menu to choose the correct mount point for your partition. For

a swap partition the mount point should not be set - setting the filesystem type to swap

is sufficient.

File System Type: Using the pull-down menu, select the appropriate file system type

for this partition. Usually we will choose default file system.

Allowable Drives: This field contains a list of the hard disks installed on your system.

If a hard disk's box is highlighted, then a desired partition can be created on that hard

disk.

Size (MB): Enter the size (in megabytes) of the partition. Note, this field starts with

100 MB; unless changed, only a 100 MB partition will be created.

Additional Size Options: Choose whether to keep this partition at a fixed size, to

allow it to "grow" (fill up the available hard drive space) to a certain point, or to allow

it to grow to fill any remaining hard drive space available.

If you choose Fill all space up to (MB), you must give size constraints in the field to

the right of this option. This allows you to keep a certain amount of space free on your

hard drive for future use.

Force to be a primary partition: Select whether the partition you are creating should

be one of the first four partitions on the hard drive. If unselected, the partition is

created as a logical partition Encrypt: Choose whether to encrypt the partition so that

the data stored on it cannot be accessed without a passphrase, even if the storage

device is connected to another system

OK: Select OK once you are satisfied with the settings and wish to create the

partition




12-A root partition (3.0 GB - 5.0 GB) — this is where "/" (the root directory) is

located. In this setup, all files (except those stored in /boot) are on the root partition.

A 3.0 GB partition allows you to install a minimal installation, while a 5.0 GB root

partition lets you perform a full installation, choosing all package groups.

In this installation we have chooses 8GB space of the disk.




13-A /boot/ partition (250 MB) — the partition mounted on /boot/ contains the

operating system kernel (which allows your system to boot Red Hat Enterprise

Linux), along with files used during the bootstrap process. Due to limitations, creating

a native ext3 partition to hold these files is required.

For most users, a 250 MB boot partition is sufficient

For this installation we have chooses partition size 600m.




14- A swap partition (at least 256 MB) — swap partitions are used to support virtual

memory. In other words, data is written to a swap partition when there is not enough

RAM to store the data your system is processing.

In years past, the recommended amount of swap space increased linearly with the

amount of RAM in the system. But because the amount of memory in modern systems

has increased into the hundreds of gigabytes, it is now recognized that the amount of

swap space that a system needs is a function of the memory workload running on that

system.

However, given that swap space is usually designated at install time, and that it can be

difficult to determine beforehand the memory workload of a system, Red Hat

recommend determining system swap using the following table. For further details

check on redhat.com

Recommended System Swap Space

Amount of RAM in the System Recommended Amount of Swap Space

4GB of RAM or less a minimum of 2GB of swap space

4GB to 16GB of RAM a minimum of 4GB of swap space







15- This partition will be /u01, a partition that will be used specifically for oracle

software and database files. I am setting the size ‘Fill to maximum allowable size’




16- This screen will ask you if you want to keep the boot record on the disk or not.

Keep the defaults and press next To boot the system without boot media, you usually

need to install a boot loader.

A boot loader is the first software program that runs when a computer starts. It is

responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system kernel

software. The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system.

GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader), which is installed by default, is a very powerful

boot loader. GRUB can load a variety of free operating systems, as well as proprietary

operating systems with chain-loading (the mechanism for loading unsupported

operating systems, such as DOS or Windows, by loading another boot loader).




17-Here we will configure the network. Provide a hostname manually. Then click the

Edit Button against Network Devices,

18- Disable the ipv6 and provide a static IP Address for IPv4.

Chose Manual configuration not Dynamic IP Configuration (DHCP)




19- Click on the map to choose a region for your Time Zone

From here there are two ways for you to select your time zone:

Using your mouse, click on the interactive map to select a specific city

(represented by a yellow dot). A red X appears indicating your selection.

You can also scroll through the list at the bottom of the screen to select your time

zone. Using your mouse, click on a location to highlight your selection.




20- Setting up a root account and password is one of the most important steps

during your installation. Your root account is similar to the administrator account

used on Windows NT machines. The root account is used to install packages,

upgrade RPMs, and perform most system maintenance. Logging in as root gives

you complete control over your system.

Provide the password for the root (Administrator User in Linux) user




21- Once a package group has been selected, if optional components are available you

can click on Optional packages to view which packages are installed by default, and

to add or remove optional packages from that group. If there are no optional

components this button will be disabled




I strongly suggest, try to “install everything” while you are making your first RHEL

installation and you are doing first time, It’s little hard to try install-add some rpms

and other tools on RHEL.




As a beginner user you choose all sub options from following to avoid later on

problem




22- Press next here, to start the installation




This will take several minutes, before the installation is complete.




At this point there is nothing left for you to do until all the packages have been

installed. How quickly this happens depends on the number of packages you have

selected and your computer's speed.

23- Congratulations! Your Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation is now complete!

The installation program prompts you to prepare your system for reboot. Remember

to remove any installation media if it is not ejected automatically upon reboot




24-After rebooting you will have to do some setup tasks. This is the Welcome page of

the setup wizard. Press Forward




25- Accept the license agreement and press Forward

26- Disable the firewall and press Forward




27- Set SELinux "Disabled". If you leave it at "enforcing" you will have trouble with

oracle later.

28- Leave kdump disabled and press Forward




29- Set the date and time

30- Select to register at a later time and press Forward




31- If you have chosen not to register then this page shows that your system is not

setup for Updates

32- Use this page to create any additional users other than root, here we will be

creating our own OS user, this will be owner of our Oracle eBusiness suite installation




33- Setup your sound card and press Forward

34- Use this page to install any additional software. Press Finish when done. The

system will reboot again




35- After reboot you will see the login screen. Login as root here using the password

you provided during the install

36- This is your Redhat Linux 5 desktop. The installation is successful. Hurrah

Kernel Settings:

Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file to configure your kernel settings to the minimum values

shown below.

To edit the file we will use vi editor

vi Editor:

We will edit a file in vi by issuing the command: vi <file-to-edit.txt>

The vi editor has three modes, command mode, insert mode and command line mode.




1. Command mode: letters or sequence of letters interactively commands vi.

Commands are case sensitive. The ESC key can end a command.

2. Insert mode: Text is inserted. The ESC key ends insert mode and returns you

to command mode. you can enter insert mode with the "i" (insert), "a" (insert

after), "A" (insert at end of line), "o" (open new line after current line) or "O"

(Open line above current line) commands.

3. Command line mode: enter this mode by typing ":" which puts the command

line entry at the foot of the screen.

Terminate session:

Use command: ZZ

Save changes and quit.

Use command line: ":wq"

Save (write) changes and quit.

Use command line: ":w"

Save (write) changes without quitting.

Use command line: ":q!"

Ignore changes and quit. No changes from last write will be saved.

Use command line: ":qa"

Quit all files opened.

The following table lists the kernel settings for Oracle Linux 4, 5 and 6, Red Hat

Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4, 5, and 6 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, 10 and 11:

Parameter Value

1: set using the following entry in the /etc/sysctl.conf file: kernel.sem = 256 32000

100 142 2: On the server running the EBS Database, this kernel parameter must be the

lesser of half the size of the physical memory (in bytes) and 4294967295 3: values recommended for the local port range may need to be adjusted according

to the specific needs of the user's environment in order to avoid port conflicts. 4: The listed value is the minimum requirement - we recommend an actual setting

that is at least equal to the sum of all the SGAs on the system, divided by the page

size.

If the current value for any parameter is higher than the value listed in the above

table, then do not change the value of that parameter.

Use command line: ":wq" Save (write) changes and quit.

After editing the file, use the "sysctl -p" command or restart the system to invoke the

new settings.

[root@oraerp /]#sysctl –p

DNS Parameter:

Two Domain Name System (DNS) resolver parameters (timeout and attempts) are set

by default to low values when the operating system is installed. These low values may

cause attempted network connections to an Oracle database to fail. If this happens,

add or update the following entries to these minimum settings in the /etc/resolv.conf

file on each server node




Host Name Settings:

Verify that the /etc/hosts file is formatted as follows:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

[ip_address] [node_name].[domain_name] [node_name]

Verify that the /etc/sysconfig/network file is formatted as follows:

HOSTNAME=[node_name].[domain_name]

If the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/network file exists, remove it




Restart System

Number of Open File Descriptors:

Open the /etc/security/limits.conf file and change the existing values for "hard" and

"soft" parameters as follows. (If the current value for any parameter is higher than the

value listed in this document, then do not change the value of that parameter.)

* hard nofile 65535

* soft nofile 4096

* hard nproc 16384

* soft nproc 2047

vi /etc/security/limits.conf

Restart the system after making changes.

OS Library Patch for Oracle HTTP Server - on RHEL 5

Download and apply the patch 6078836 from My Oracle Support to fix an issue with

the Oracle HTTP Server (missing libdb.so.2) bundled with the E-Business Suite

technology stack.

Note that this patch (which includes a required operating system library) must be

applied before installing Oracle E-Business Suite.




unzip the patch

Then we copy to /usr/lib.

[root@oraerp 6078836] $ cp libdb.so.2 /usr/lib

[root@ oraerp lib]# cd /usr/lib

[root@ oraerp lib]# pwd

/usr/lib

[root@ oraerp lib]# ls libdb.so*

libdb.so libdb.so.2

Link to Motif library in Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 (on Oracle Linux 5, RHEL 5,

Oracle Linux 6 and RHEL 6 only)

Perform the following command (as root on your system) to update a required link to

a Motif library prior to relinking or patching the 10.1.2 Application Server Oracle

Home:

# unlink /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6

Without this updated link, you may see the following errors during a relink of the

10.1.2 Oracle Home:

/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail@GLIBC_2.4'

/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to `__fprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4'

/usr/lib/libXtst.so.6: undefined reference to `__sprintf_chk@GLIBC_2.3.4'

Since the ldconfig command overrides this link, the above link command (ln) will

have to be re-issued after running the ldconfig command.

Create Operating System Accounts:

Before running Rapid Install, we must create the operating system users/accounts that

will be used:

in the installation of the database node: the oracle account

The operating system user that owns the database node file system and starts the

database node services is called the ‘oracle user’.




and Applications node file systems: the applmgr account

The operating system user that owns the Applications node file system and starts the

Applications node services is called the applmgr user. The applmgr user is the account

that owns the Applications node technology stack (APPL_TOP, COMMON_TOP,

OracleAS 10.1.2 Oracle Home, and OracleAS 10.1.3 1-14 Oracle E-Business Suite

Installation Guide: Using Rapid InstallOracle Home).

The names of these accounts must be the same on all nodes in an Oracle E-Business

Suite system.

You can perform (Reference - Page 27 - For linux user):

a single-user installation: one user for the two account

a Multi-user installations: one user by account.

The default name for the oracle user is ora<SID>. For example, for a production

(ORAERPPROD) environment, the default Oracle OS username might be oraerpprod.

For the applmgr user, the default name is appl<SID>. For example, for a Vision

Demo (VIS) environment, the default Apps OS username might be applvis.

Two common groups that are defined in installations are:

the oinstall group (which owns the Oracle Inventory information)

and the dba group whose members have SYSDBA privileges of the database.

groupadd dba

useradd -m -g dba oravis

passwd oraerpvision

useradd -m -g dba applvis

passwd oraerpappl

Inventory Directory - oraInst.loc

Refer MOS note 405293.1, on all platforms except Windows, oraInst.loc must exist

and point to a valid inventory directory. Specifically:

oraInst.loc must be located in /etc (for Linux and IBM AIX) or /var/opt/oracle

(for Solaris, HP-UX PA RISC, and HP-UX Itanium)

oraInst.loc must point to a valid central inventory location

the central inventory location must be writable by the owner of the oracle files

and the application files

If oraInst.loc does not exist, create it in the proper directory. The contents should look

like this:


http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B53825_04/current/acrobat/121oaig.pdf

https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=405293.1



inventory_loc=/d01/oracle/oraInventory

where: /d01/oracle/oraInventory points to the directory where the central inventory is

to be located and must be writable by the owner of the oracle files and the application

files.

With Rapid Install, you can perform the following tasks:

Install a new, fully configured Oracle E-Business Suite system, including the

latest certified Oracle E-Business Suite technology stack and all patches,

product family release update packs, release update packs, and other updates

available at the time of this Oracle E-Business Suite release.

Lay down the file system and configure server processes for an upgraded

system.

Install a new database node or Applications node technology stack.

Rapid Install employs a wizard that guides you through the screens used to carry out

the selected task. On the wizard screens, you enter configuration values for your

system; these will typically be saved in the Oracle E-Business Suite database for later

use.

Type of installation

Standard

In a new Standard installation, you define many aspects of the configuration. You will

need to choose where to install the required nodes (database node and primary

Applications node).

Express

In an Express installation, you set up a fully configured, single-user/single-machine

system using a few basic configuration parameters, such as database type and name,

top-level installation directory, and port pool choice. The remaining directory

specifications and mount points are supplied by Rapid Install using default values. An

Express installation includes a set of core products and uses the US7ASCII character

set.
